I think you are stuck in a vicious loop of anxiety and sadness related to sleep and the sleep is evading you more and more and more you get anxious and sad about it. You need adequate help to get out of this loop. Sleep is important and necessary, but many of us make it so stressful by over focusing on it that good sleep starts evading us. Try to minimize your focus on sleep and take help to start feeling better thru the day. Consult a good clinical psychologist and seek therapeutic help.

Anxiety and Depression are the causes of sleeplessness.
Normal sleeping tablets can bring back your sleep for sometimes but untill you properly treat ur depression and anxiety normal sleep restoration is not possible.
For treat your anxiety there is two process. Medical treatment and Psychotherapy treatment.
Medical treatment can be achieved by Alopathic mode or Homoeopathic mode.
Homoeopathy is safe and free from any side effects.
I advised you to Consult with Homoeopathic doctor or me for medical treatment.
Also Consult Psychologist or Me for psychotherapy. Psychotherapy and counselling is best method to treat such psychological issues.
To resolve any psychological issues you must sorted any stress you have.

Hello,
The answer to your question is: you'll get a prescription to take care of anxiety, depression and sleep problems on your first visit itself, when you consult a Psychiatrist.
Because, we understand that all three problems are causing a lot of disturbance to your overall health. Like you cleverly pointed out, a good night's sleep and adequate rest would help you tackle with depression and anxiety, when combined with suitable medical treatment.
Don't worry
We can help you to get back to your lively life again
Next Steps
please consult a Psychiatrist for a detailed evaluation so that he/she can help you with the symptoms as well as the root cause.
Health Tips
according to my professional opinion, a combination of psychological counseling and medical treatment would be effective in your case.
hope you feel better soon!!
